Forget Egge Machine unless you just can't find the parts anywhere else. They are too proud of their stuff and several people have had problems with their pistons.

I know of people that have had very good results and cooperation with Egge Machine. I know of one person that had a parts problem and Egge furnished replacement parts at no charge and paid the labor for the second instalation of the parts.You can't ask for more.

See you down the back roads.

After being in this hobby for about 35 years, one of the vendors that I have heard the most complaints about, (and also based on personal experience), is Egge Machine. Mainly, the complaints are about the parts that they manufacture. Many fellows complain about their pistons, mains, rods, and valve guides, and several quality machine shops around the country refuse to use Egge manufactured products. I even know of several fellows that live near Egge Machine and they get their pistons, mains and rods from other vendors. \:\( \:\( \:\( \:\(

RAM engine rebuilders in Spokane, WA has a division that does only vintage engines. Their prices are nice and their work is excellent.

http://www.ramengine.com/vintag.htm

For your particular quest for rings:

What About Worn-out Rings ?

Rings are custom ground to your piston. We provide any style, bevel or overlap to math the originals.

Hi chevster1,

Too bad the web site was destroyed without warning and caused the loss on several of the pictures that supported the "School", but the narrative is still valuable for the building of the Chevy 4-cylinder engine and other related subjects.

I overhauled the engine in my daily driver (see below) 20 years ago. I used all egge parts and have had no trouble what so ever in 240,000 miles. I never add oil just change it every 3000 miles and it is usually down about a quart.
